Which are the methods of thread class?

Thread.sleep causes the current thread to suspend execution for a specified period. This is an efficient means of making processor time available to the other threads of an application or other applications that might be running on a computer system.

Thread.sleep[] Method Example

In this example, we have created and started two threads thread1 and thread2. Note that we have used both overloaded versions of sleep[] methods in this example.

Thread.sleep[1000];
Thread.sleep[1000, 500];
